EXT. CENTRAL CITY – MARKET SECTOR – LATER
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztcZgRPngA
[Jason walks through the city streets, patrol route loaded but clearly taking his time. Robotic citizens move about—shining, buzzing, complaining. Labor bots haggle over tools, Operator bots float by with data-stream halos over their heads.]
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAxJsKiv2d
[As Jason passes, conversations die down. A small Labor bot mother steers her child away from him.]
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnNBrwHNNj
LABOR BOT MOM
(whispering)
“Don’t stare. He’s Security.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZElgQxBbY3
LITTLE BOT
“But he’s shiny—”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MOeJ1LmzK
MOM
“I said don’t stare!”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3seKspVl3c
[Jason raises an eyebrow module but keeps walking.]
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhYKdMiZbV
JASON
(deadpan, under his breath)
“Nice to see my charm still terrifies the public.”

INT. GEAR STATION CAFE – MOMENTS LATER
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnJHoylNg8
[Jason enters a cozy little café run by a retired welding bot named CRANK. He’s old, squeaky, and full of sarcasm.]
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwChmXp46ki
CRANK
“Well well. If it isn’t the murder stick himself. What’ll it be, Gearman? The usual can of synthetic sadness?”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK42nqDWjjt
JASON
“Give me your finest pre-war sludge. Something that tastes like regret.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0izbPmStp
CRANK
“Coming right up. Fresh from the leak in the ceiling.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrL57Oem7y
[Jason takes a seat. Other patrons slowly slide away from him.]
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXZPGB4dSg
[A trio of Operator bots at a table nearby whisper, clearly loud enough to be heard.]
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ipN7UkkoX
OPERATOR BOT #1
“Security shouldn’t even be allowed inside the city unsupervised.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1HtM1VOD1
OPERATOR BOT #2
“He probably tracks oil on the floor.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y6xU5JVma
OPERATOR BOT #3
“Or listens to metal music.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnTQKz1HAI
[Jason raises his mug of gross oil drink and salutes them mockingly.]
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBdri8Z6ON
JASON
“Glad to see elitism survived the apocalypse.”

EXT. ALLEY NEAR MARKET SECTOR – SHORTLY AFTER
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6hYEt5zLg
[Jason tosses the empty canister into a recycler and walks back toward his route checkpoint. He passes a side alley—narrow, quiet, covered in frost.]
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgGS6TfzwE
[He stops. Tilts his head.]
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVv1w4uABE
[A sound: whirr… chhk… clink…]
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMUhfCRvOu
[Very faint, mechanical. Something moving, dragging maybe. Not part of the usual city buzz.]
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPkzv55hWv
JASON
(muttering)
“Okay… that wasn’t wind.”
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoVIic7tG3
[He slowly steps toward the alley entrance, arm subtly shifting into axe mode.]
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvXPDuIKfY
[Cut to black.]
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzzIFIJvv9
[Sound cue: skitter… hiss… silence.]
